Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has expressed hope that the club's failure to qualify for the Champions League group stage following a play-off defeat will not hinder their ability to secure prospective transfer targets.
The setback comes after a defeat to Austrian side LASK in the play-off round, ending Celtic's hopes of participating in Europe's premier club competition for the upcoming campaign.
Despite the financial and sporting implications of missing out on the Champions League, O'Neill remains optimistic that the club can still attract and finalize deals for their desired players during the current transfer window.
